On tap at N.E. Tap House Grille
Deep golden color with a long lasting frothy off white head. Rich tropical earthy resinous dank hops on the nose with bits of bready and light caramel to round it out. Flavor is a hint on the sweet side but the onslaught of hops balances that nicely. Moderate resinous earthy bitterness. Pretty tasty beer.

Aroma of strong pine and a sense of weight behind the aroma. Can't say that I actually smell the malt but it makes it's presence known.

Taste is what you'd expect from a 100 IBU brew. Hops everywhere, infield, outfield, pitching and catching. I began to notice malt about mid palate and that flavor builds to the finish then hops reemerge in the aftertaste. It all comes across as a clean, well made brew that's well rounded for the power it possesses. What I do not detect, in scent or flavor, is alcohol.

Full texture with just enough carbonation.

This is a powerful brew. Body, substance and 9.5 ABV move this guy into the heavyweight class. The sort of thing professional linebackers have for afternoon tea.

A- hazy orange with reddish tint, not much head
S- Pine really comes out as it warms, citrus forward
T- Super piney, armpit dankness, some citrus sweetness.
M- nice carbonation and level of bitterness
O- I love super citrusy and dank IPA's, this is a great one.

Pours a clear copper gold with a thin white head. Smells of citrus and hops. Flavor is also citrus, tons of hop bitterness, some sweetness, and booze. Creamy full mouthfeel with low carbonation. Overall very delicious and bitter IPA. My only complaint is they didn't hide the alcohol well at all.

I enjoy the retro brand label. Clear amber pour, memory-foam pillow top head and lacing. Smells like fruity, resinous, sunshiney hops. Mouth feel is creamy while the taste is a proper display of the previously mentioned hops in addition to slight astringency in the after bite. On one hand I appreciate this beer for it's display of the style and it's hops, and on another I don't think I'll be going out of my way for it again, but who can complain at 9.5% Green Flash has succeeded in what they aimed for in this beer I feel.

Amber colored beer with a nice big head. What really shines is the lacing. Straight up soapy-like lace that surrounds the entire glass. Completely different from 99% of the beers I've tries. Super thick lace.

Smell is a piney, earthy hop with a ton of roasted malt. A little heavy - carried over from the taste. A definitively big malty character which has a little bit of an edge over the hops. A little bitter but it doesn't linger too long. Pine is the main hop I'm tasting. A little bit of alcohol but not too much. Finishes pretty dry. Reminds me of the original Double IPA's. (Malty)

Overall a decent imperial IPA. Pretty easily drinkable, I could see myself knocking back a couple, price point is pretty high compared to other Imperial IPA's/doubles. Not a bad choice.

T: Old school DIPA all the way. Big sweet malty backbone fighting with a mountain of hops. Floral notes jump out first, citrus, lemon, orange, a little grapefruit, big time resinous pine, spicy herbal tones, underlying fruity notes, passion fruit, peach, a hint of melon, sturdy bready malty back bone, and a ton of caramel/toffee sweetness, plus some alcohol that elbows its way into the fight.

M: Full body, moderate carbonation, with a little warmth as it goes down.

O: The smell alone brings back memories of sitting in my long time favorite pub, watching pint after pint of this get poured, wishing I was into IPAs so I could try it just for the name. Years later it's nice to get my hands on it. Gotta say, it lives up to that name. Not my favorite DIPA, but a nice piece of nostalgia for me.

My lady friend told me about this lil' treat...she told me it was aptly named and that the consumption of one of these dandies was the last thing she recalled on a given evening... my read: a solid American Double worth a try.

Mostly clear, coppery color. Thin head with minimal streak lacing. The aroma is tangerine, stone fruit, butterscotch, and caramel malt. The flavor is as the label says: "hop forward". Lots of pine and citrus packed in this one. Very bitter and resinous. Still drinkable tho, and balanced enough. Kinda boozy, with some alcohol vapor. Worth checking out at least.
